■ Serial Novel "My Girlfriend"

Takeshi Asano, a second-year high school student, is an outcast in his class. The person he secretly has a crush on is Kyoka Sakamoto, known as "Kyo-chan," whom everyone in the class admires.

However...
One day, Takeshi hits it off with Yasuko Uchida, also known as "Yacchan," another outcast in the class, over a conversation about books.

The encounter with his soulmate, Yacchan, begins to change Takeshi's daily life significantly.

■ Recap

"Who?"
"That's a secret."

"I like people who like books."
I was a little surprised by Yacchan's proactive way of steering the conversation.

"Is that so?"
"Yeah. Asano-kun, you like books, right?"

"Huh?"
My voice cracked from the shock.

"Me?"
"Yeah."

Yacchan nodded, looking a little shy.
"What kind of books do you like, Asano-kun?"

"I think I like mysteries and sci-fi. Recently, I found Keigo Higashino's 'The Devotion of Suspect X' interesting."

"Me too! I love Keigo Higashino's works! I read 'The Devotion of Suspect X' too. I couldn't stop crying at Ishigami's heartbreaking love."

Yacchan's eyes sparkled.

"Me too! That ending was truly shocking, wasn't it?
So, have you ever read any works by Kanae Minato?"

"Like 'Confessions'?"

"Exactly. I read 'Confessions' too. That one also depicts the darkness of humanity; it's a very profound work, isn't it?"

■ Episode 1: "Meeting Yacchan" (20)

"It is. I've read all of Kanae Minato's works, too. 'The Night Ferry' and 'Reverse' were also interesting, weren't they?"

Yacchan and I were completely absorbed in our conversation about books. I had never been so excited talking about reading before, so I was incredibly happy.
